Exactly - and really when you add it all up, welfare provides a lot more than working for a living does. If someone lives on minimum wage, it's possible they won't afford a cell phone, but the government even gives cell phones to the welfare crowd.
It's time to get all those with 2 arms and 2 legs that function and have IQs over 70 off welfare handouts and doing something productive.
so what happens when there are no jobs at the same time?
no jobs, no welfare - then what?
Even FDR as big government as he was didn't just hand people a free and very comfortable living. Those government work programs weren't very efficient, people had to show up but the lazy would just stand with a shovel doing little but at least it got them out of bed and out pretending to do something and there actually were many successful projects as a result.
Today there is much the welfare recipients could do, they could clean up streets, remove graffitti, pick up broken glass and trash from parking lots, plant trees, harvest crops, pick fruit.
There will always be jobs. Anyone is an idiot to believe that welfare helps society in anyway by supporting the weak and lazy. Survival of the fittest. 99% of the poor are there because of stupidity, drug abuse, laziness or mental illness. And 99% of them will never get better so let them get what they have coming to them without my taxes going to support their worthless lives. Conservatives AND DemoRATS live in a fantasy world where they think "welfare" helps these invalids. When most of the time nothing good comes from their existence. The liberal agenda is the main problem and their socialists programs are what is destroying this country. The republicans pander and give the liberals leeway when they should be trying to crush them at any opportunity. The democrats I consider less than human, the terrorists and the enemy and we should treat them as such.
Lol... Says the guy who named himself after the leader of the traitorous secessionist...
why work if you can get the same or more on Welfare?
what is the incentive to get a job in this case?
what is the solution?
The incentive is to aquire a skill set or education that pays more than minimum wage or welfare, the truth is no one is living large on welfare. Should welfare be reformed so that some lazy healthy people are pushed off it, sure, but to think that the majority of people drawing it fall in that catagory is ludicrous.

Ironically, it was the conservatives who were the most vociferous critics government jobs programs. Go figure.
